A small temple on a historical site is dwarfed by an ocean of prayer flags, which also cover some parts of the kora on the hill behind the temple.
Some 20 kilometres south of Jyekundo, in the Peltang valley, we turned left towards the Bida valley, and very soon, after clearing a bend in the road, it seemed we could not continue. The road appeared blocked by prayer flags which were spanning the gorge. When I looked up, I saw many more prayer flags; in fact, the hills defining this gorge were almost completely covered by them. According to one legend, Princess Wencheng stayed here for one month of even more on her way to Lhasa; according to another, she had a miscarriage here. We might not know which legend has historical relevance; but the site has become a sacred site.
